A Voice from the Eastern Door
Effective January 1, 2016 there will be a new eligibility requirement for 50/50 bingo recipients. All applicants, whether teams, leagues, groups, clubs, programs, community initiatives, etc. must commit to a minimum of 16 hours of verifiable community service within the Akwesasne Mohawk community. This requirement is reflected in the revised 50/50 bingo application which may be downloaded on our website at ckonfm.com. The community service will be the applicant’s way of giving back to the community in exchange for the 50/50 funds received. Community service may include assisting seniors, mowing lawns, shoveling driveways for seniors, roadside cleanup, free car washes, assisting at community events, etc. Should you have any questions regarding this eligibility requirement, please contact Cecelia Francis, CKON Bingo Coordinator at 518-358-3427 or 613-575-2101.
